Contrast Therapy
COLD PLUNGE & INFRARED SAUNA
Contrast therapy involves alternating between hot and cold treatments (cold plunge and infrared sauna), which creates a dynamic effect on the body. The heat from the infrared sauna dilates blood vessels, increases circulation, and promotes relaxation, while the cold plunge constricts blood vessels, reduces inflammation, and stimulates the body's natural healing processes.
Key benefits:
Accelerates muscle recovery
